Abstract |
Upon request of the Alaska Department of Health and Welfare, related oceanographic and water quality studies were conducted at four locations in Southeastern Alaska. The studies, preliminary in nature, were conducted in: Gastineau Channel, adjacent to the cities of Juneau and Douglas; Fritz Cove-Auke Bay, near Juneau; Silver Bay, near Sitka; and Ward Cove, near Ketchikan (see Frontispience). The urgent need for a sewage and sewage treatment system to serve the cities of Juneau and Douglas, Alaska, and surrounding Borough necessitated the request for an oceanographic and related water quality survey of Gastineau Channel.
